Chapter 285: Underground Hall
"Forbidden?" Leo was slightly stunned, and tentatively shot a holy power towards the ordinary-looking wooden door. I saw www.biquge.info door suddenly a black light flashed, and then this holy power disappeared in an instant like a mud cow entering the sea.
"Looks like this is the ghost of the lich Ignati, is there a way to unravel it?" Leo was not asking Morata, but the third adjudicator on the side.
Judging from the previous information, Ignatico is a seventh-level high-level lich, so it is obviously a safer choice to let the third adjudicator, who also has high-level powers, take action.
Adjudicator No. 3 thought for a moment, then said, "You guys stand back. ”
The three of Leo took a few steps back as they were told, but the distance still didn't seem reassuring: "Walk back a little further." So Leo and the others simply withdrew from the room.
"Bang!" A violent explosion suddenly came from the room, and the whole small building shook the sudden explosion, and the furniture that had already been crooked clanged into each other, and dust fell from the ceiling, and the room was filled with smoke and dust for a while, making the unsuspecting Leo and the three cough violently.
"That's it." Adjudicator Three's voice came from the other end of the wall.
When Leo stood in the square place again, the original wooden door was long gone, replaced by a swarthy underground cavern.
"I have to admit that brute force can sometimes be quite effective." Leo shrugged his shoulders and cast a light spell on each of them, before following Adjudicator Three into the darkness behind the wooden door.
Behind the door was a staircase, and just after stepping on the stairs, the four of them frowned in unison: "What a thick bloody gas!" ”
Leo subconsciously covered his nose, but found that his shoulders tightened, and when he turned around, he saw Cleverley, whose face was extremely ugly. At this moment, the little duke's face turned pale, and he looked obviously very uncomfortable with this smell of blood.
Leo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I didn't expect that the future military minister of our empire would be a coward who couldn't walk when he smelled blood." ”
Cleverley rolled his eyes when he heard this, but instead of refuting Leo's words, he grabbed the palm of his hand on Leo's shoulder tighter.
The staircase down the road isn't long, but the smell of blood gets stronger with each step. After turning a corner, the front of everyone suddenly became clear, and an underground hall appeared in front of them.
The area of this underground hall is unexpectedly large, even with the auxiliary lighting of illumination, everyone's line of sight can only cover nearly half of the entire hall, but even so, Leo couldn't help but gasp after seeing the scene in front of him clearly: "Damn, what the hell is this place?" ”
The smell of blood in the nose, the hundreds of coffins neatly arranged, the strange patterns and symbols on the ground with the remnants of dark power, and the dozens of corpses lying in the hall, as well as the extremely conspicuous huge sarcophagus in the center of the hall, everything seemed so strange and gloomy.
"Oops!" Leo suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, and he subconsciously screamed out defenselessly, and glared back at Cleverley behind him: "Why are you pinching me so hard!" ”
Cleverley smiled wryly and let go of the hand on Leo's shoulder.
Since descending this dark staircase, Cleverley's hand on Leo's shoulder has never relaxed, and after seeing this strange and terrifying scene at this moment, the little duke was almost frightened and fainted, and his hand was subconsciously tightened, and he actually pinched a small piece of black green on Leo's shoulder.
While Leo and Cleverley were staring at each other, the third adjudicator and Morata had already begun their investigation.
Adjudicator No. 3 walked over to the neatly arranged coffins, reached out and pushed open the lid on one of the coffins, and the smell of corpses immediately came out of the coffins. Cleverley, who was already pale, finally couldn't hold on anymore after smelling the stench of corpses, and ran to the corner and vomited.
"Most of the deaths were adult men, the cause of death was drained of sperm and blood, the date of death was the same day, and judging from the degree of decomposition of the corpse, it should have been less than a week old." After opening more than a dozen coffins in quick succession, Adjudicator No. 3 came to a conclusion.
Morata walked to the corpses of the fallen to the ground in black robes, as a former spy who was often on the verge of life and death, Morata was obviously familiar with this kind of work, and quickly came to the conclusion: "These are all wizards who cultivate dark powers, and their bodies don't even have a single wound on the outside, but strangely they are all as thin as skeletons, and they seem to have died of weakness after exhausting all the magic in their bodies." ”
Leo, who came back to his senses, focused on the strange black ** magic patterns on the ground: "These ghost talismans seem to follow a certain pattern, and the magic crystals surrounded by wizards should be magic nodes, which seem to be some kind of evil sacrificial ritual circle." ”
Hundreds of human animals that had been drained of their blood, dozens of wizards who had exhausted their magic power, and the circle used for sacrifice, the problem was already obvious when the three were combined.
"There must be something wrong with that biggest sarcophagus!" Leo, Morata, and the Third Adjudicator all had such a thought in their minds, and the three of them subconsciously assumed a fighting posture, slowly leaning towards the huge sarcophagus in the center of the hall from three different directions.
"Huh?" At this moment, Cleverley's eyes, who were squatting in the corner of the hall and almost vomiting out bile, suddenly lit up, reached out and rummaged for a while, picked up a long sword from a hidden corner of the ground, and watched the long sword fall into a deep groan: "This seems to be the standard weapon of the city guards of Ridmar City, has the city guards been here?" ”
Adjudicator No. 3 was the strongest, so he was the first to come to the sarcophagus and saw the scene inside, then shook his head: "There's nothing in this coffin. ”
"No one?" Leo was slightly stunned, and then walked to the side of the sarcophagus, and sure enough, he found that the sarcophagus was empty, not to mention a person, not even a hair.
For some reason, after finding that the sarcophagus was empty, Leo subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Morata on the side suddenly said: "Have you noticed that there is something wrong with the breath in this sarcophagus?" ”
Leo and Adjudicator No. 3 were slightly startled when they heard this, and immediately carefully felt the residual breath in the sarcophagus, and sure enough, they immediately noticed the difference.
Although the entire underground hall was filled with a dark aura, the aura in the sarcophagus was more powerful, cold, evil, and bloodthirsty than all the others.
"It's the breath of a vampire," Adjudicator No. 3's face suddenly became more solemn than ever, and he said in a deep voice, "and it's also a vampire of the Sanctuary. ”
Leo took a deep breath, and his face was also very ugly: "It seems that everything here is all because of this Sanctuary vampire, could it be that it was summoned by this magic circle?" ”
At this moment, Cleverley's face suddenly changed, as if he remembered something very terrible, and he shouted out a little uncontrollably: "It's not good, let's get out of here!" Fast! Otherwise, it will be too late! ”
A gust of wind suddenly blew through the entire hall, and Leo's light spells that he had previously released on the four of them were all extinguished, and the entire underground hall was suddenly plunged into darkness.
"Hey, hey, hey!" A low dark laugh suddenly resounded throughout the underground hall, and a low and hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Since you are here, then leave your life here." ”
